Gloucestershire Archives (Record Office!) and the Gaveller have just allowed the Forest of Dean Local History Society to put the names of 600 or so Freeminers (@1838 - 1960) on a CD we've just produced; but, if I remember correctly from other discussions, the survival of records re other miners is very much a hit or miss affair.
